Intermediate (50-70) Division/Junior/Senior Baseball Divisions: No pitch has to be thrown and ball is live. NOTE: The batter may return their position in the batter s box and assume the new count at any time during the at-bat, unless such enforced penalty is the third strike.

7 PLAYING RULES b. In all Tournament levels and divisions, the penalty for use of an illegal bat [see Rule 6.06(d)], if discovered before the next player enters the batter s box following the turn at bat of the player who used an illegal bat, is: i. The batter is out (NOTE: The manager of the defense may advise the plate umpire of a decision to decline this portion of the penalty and accept the play. Such election shall be made immediately at the end of the play), and; ii. The manager of the team will be ejected from the game, the batter who violated the rule will be ejected from the game, and the offensive team will lose one eligible adult base coach for the duration of the game.

8 PLAYING RULES c. 9- to 11 Year Old Division: the batter may advance on an uncaught third strike (6.05/6.09). This rule will not apply for the 8- to 10 Year Old Division. Softball Only d. 9- to 11 Year Old Division: Base runner(s) must maintain contact with the base in which they are entitled until the ball has been released by the pitcher on delivery [(7.08(a)(5)]. 8- to 10-Year-Old Division: Base runner(s) must maintain contact with the base in which they are entitled until the ball has been batted or reaches the batter [(7.08(a)(5)].

If the pinch-runner remains in the game as a substitute defensive or offensive player, the player may not be used again as a pinch-runner while in the batting order.

10 PLAYING RULES e. ( f. Softball) Each umpire has authority to disqualify any player, coach, manager, or substitute for objecting to decisions or for unsportsmanlike conduct or language and to eject such disqualified person from the playing field. If an umpire disqualifies a player while a play is in progress, the disqualification shall not take effect until no further action is possible in that play.
